PSALM 108

God Praised and Supplicated to Give Victory.

A Song, a Psalm of David.

1 aMy heart is steadfast, O God;

I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my 1soul.

2 Awake, harp and lyre;

I will awaken the dawn!

3 I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples,

And I will sing praises to You among the nations.

4 For Your alovingkindness is great babove the heavens,

And Your truth reaches to the skies.

5 aBe exalted, O God, above the heavens,

And Your glory above all the earth.

6 aThat Your beloved may be delivered,

Save with Your right hand, and answer me!

7 God has spoken in His 1holiness:

“I will exult, I will portion out Shechem

And measure out the valley of Succoth.

8 “Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;

Ephraim also is the 1helmet of My head;

aJudah is My 2scepter.

9 “Moab is My washbowl;

Over Edom I shall throw My shoe;

Over Philistia I will shout aloud.”

10 aWho will bring me into the besieged city?

Who 1will lead me to Edom?

11 Have not You Yourself, O God, arejected us?

And will You not go forth with our armies, O God?

12 Oh give us help against the adversary,

For adeliverance 1by man is in vain.

13 1Through God we will do valiantly,

And ait is He who shall tread down our adversaries.
